Summer is usually deemed the vacation season but mini getaways  are great to rejuvenate the soul and spirit. Whether your escape is for a day or 5 days don’t forget the fashion essentials and trends for the season. Remember to check the climate for your final destination. Pack a light sweater or two in the event the weather makes a sudden turn or there is a travel emergency. Neon and sequin are trending for the Fall season, so packing a few accessory pieces that are in style will certainly keep you on the edge and chic. And don’t forget to relax and enjoy.

This past Saturday was the first day of Fall and I am already sad. The great thing is that I have next summer to look forward to and as always fashion is alive and kicking. There are so many trends to choose from this Fall you will never get bored. One such trend is the over sized clutch…. small enough to tote around without much hasell and still large enough to carry all your girly essentials such as your ipad, mobile phone, makeup etc. It’s the perfect accessory for transitioning from the office to dinner. And it will definitely be useful for years to come.

Though Summer fashionably ended on Labor Day we still have a few almanac days left to enjoy the warm sunny days ahead. Luckily blues and brights have spilled over into what’s in for Fall fashion giving ample opportunities to extend summer wears and save a few bucks for Christmas shopping. One summer activity that extends into Fall are cruises. There is no better way to spend a cool evening than sailing the seas over dinner and cocktails in Summer/Fall transitional pieces in timeless colors. Enjoy transitional fashion and happy sailing!

The best part about summer is not having to worry about the weather. For the most part it is usually sunny, sun, sun, with the exception of a few rain drops every now and again. With this in mind, you can go wild in your summer closet. Maxis, minis, shorts, capris, dresses, flip flops and wedges are all ripe for the picking ,with fun exuberant hues and creative styles. Don’t forget the accessories that add a hint of character and flare. Whether it is a day of shopping, a back yard picnic, a stroll in the park or a festival don’t worry about what to wear just do it!
